Whenever a student would ask her a question, she'd huff and puff as if it was such a bother to answer a student. I felt that going to the administration may not have been such a great thing to do. Any suggestions on how (or if) this could have been handled? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would ask the teacher why she choose this profession if she has a negative attitude towards it                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think it's her place. I would just talk to ADMIN. or be positive.

That's a very blunt comment and the teacher most likely wouldn't take it in the best way. As an intern it is not her place to go up and directly tell the teacher instead she can let the school know her concerns.

It's also not appropriate to ask her since she's in a higher position.

Even though the CT is not behaving correctly you still need to be respectful and telling them this would be disrespectful. Rated On: October 16, 2020 2:34 pm Rated By: vuzuDe
